**Files Needed**

* TheLine.java

* TheLineRunner.java

* line.dat

**Lab Goal** : The lab was designed to teach you more about using data files

**Lab Description** : Read in one line of text at a time. Each line will contain a group of numbers. Determine which number in the group is the largest.

**Algorithm Help**

 
largest = Integer.MIN_VALUE
 
 
 
 while( there are more numbers to check )
 
{
 
 num = get current number
 
 if(num > largest)
 
 largest = num
 
}
 

**Sample Data**

 
data contained in line.dat
 
7
 
564 33 654 8321 15
 
10 225 4557 254
 
22 39 22 45 33 11 19

-10 9 1 8 -999
 
-1 2 3 4 5 6 7
 
0 34 45 23 12
 

**Sample Output** :

 
 564 33 654 8321 15 - Largest == 8321
 
 
 
 10 225 4557 254 - Largest == 4557
 
 
 
 22 39 22 45 33 11 19 - Largest == 45
 
 
 
 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 - Largest == 7
 
 
 
 -10 9 1 8 -999 - Largest == 9
 
 
 
 -1 2 3 4 5 6 7 - Largest == 7
 
 
 
 0 34 45 23 12 - Largest == 45
